House of the Day: 192 President Street

Compared to what other houses in Carroll Gardens have been listed at in recent months, 192 President Street strikes us as an interesting opportunity for someone who values historic detail and has the time and energy to put into a restoration. We like the grand scale of the parlor floor, the unusual limestone facade and the intricate plaster moldings. In the right hands, this could really be something special. Think the asking price of $1,928,000 will be met?

1.5 and not a penny more.
I live in the neighborhood, lived on that block at one point 4 years ago and you would NEVER know the BQE was a block and a half away unless you were going to cross it (or better yet, actually crossing it)…it’s really not worth a mention – and no you can’t hear it..you’re obviously not in the hood…the area is in the heart of carroll gardens as one poster mentioned.
At first glance it looked reasonably priced given the size and location. Then came the lack of photos.
“Two families could buy this and each have a huge apartment for less than a mill each. Although I’m sure the place needs aesthetic and configuration work it’s probably livable with smaller changes. also, probably being sold by an old Italian family who tend to be sticklers on systems maintenance.”
Families with $1M each do not want to buy with one other couple and share. They may choose to live in an apartment with many others, but they do not want to go halvsies on a house.
Almost $2 million sounds a bit steep for something that is going to need substantial work. As for the BQE, come on, at night, with the windows open, it sounds just like the ocean.
i’ll take it.
Looks like 25′ x 50′ house – plus an extension and also looks like high ceilings on all levels (see how it dwarfs house on right same # of floors).
Unrenovated 20’x40′ houses seem to sell $1.6+ish.
If I owned it – certainly minimum I would ask.
(and between Clinton and Henry) which is pretty prime even if Dave thinks otherwise.
Wow, I’d have to agree with 1:36 on this one. After viewing the interior photos my pleasant surprised-ness shuddered to a halt. Seems to be much work within. MUCH. At least 700k.
Thanks broker, I mean 1:47!!!!
